All League Two standouts →One of the biggest game-time risers in the League Two: on the pitch for 100% of Chesterfield's available minutes this season, up from 21% last year — a bench-to-starter jump the ratings will catch up with at the next checkpoint.
R. Boot is a 31-year-old goalkeeper at Chesterfield, rated 12.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 157th of 185 on scout potential in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Boot.
Judged on this season alone, Boot graded 6 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 16th of 24 of the 24 goalkeepers in the League Two, on 3 clean sheets across 10 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 6 → 6). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 13, 21st of 24 of the 24 goalkeepers in the League Two. At 31 Boot is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Chesterfield finished 6th of 24 · an upper-table side
3 clean sheets in 10 appearances (30% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (6th of 24) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 12.7, Boot carries the 21st-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League Two of 24 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A limited game time keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
